v2 cover core/download: add support for git sub-modules (branch yem/git)

Hello All!

This little series adds support for packages coming from a git clone, with git sub-modules.

The commit logs are pretty detailed, but roughly, it goes as thus;

- we can't get sub-modules in a bare clone, so we no longer use bare

    clones, but use full clones (with a working copy);

- git-archive does not support submodules, so we generate archives

    manually;

- we check out the working copy to the correct cset, then we retrieve

    the submodules;

- we expose a new package variable to request sub-modules.

Changes v1 -> v2:
- properly accept -r in the download wrapper (Aleksandar)
- split the non-bare-git and manual-archive changes in two separate patches, as they are not semantically related
- some of my usual typoes fixed...

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

PATCH v2 1/4 support/download/git: do not use bare clones

Currently, we are using bare clones, so as to minimise the disk usage, most notably for largeish repositories such as the one for the Linux kernel, which can go beyond the 1GiB barrier.

However, this precludes updating (and thus using) the submodules, if any, of the repositories, as a working copy is required to use submodules (becaue we need to know the list of submodules, where to find them, where to clone them, what cset to checkout, and all those is dependent upon the checked out cset of the father repository).

Switch to using /plain/ clones with a working copy.

This means that the extra refs used by some forges (like pull-requests for Github, or changes for gerrit...) are no longer fetched as part of the clone, because git does not offer to do a mirror clone when there is a working copy.

Instead, we have to fetch those special refs by hand. Since there is no easy solution to know whether the cset the user asked for is such a special ref or not, we just try to always fetch the cset requested by the user; if this fails, we assume that this is not a special ref (most probably, it is a sha1) and we defer the check to the archive creation, which would fail if the requested cset is missing anyway.

PATCH v2 2/4 support/download/git: do not use git archive, handle it manually

In reply to Yann E. MORIN

We currently use git-archive to generate the tarball. This is all handy and dandy, but git-archive does not support submodules. In the follow-up patch, we're going to handle submodules, so we would not be able to use git-archive.

Instead, we manually generate the archive:
- extract the tree to the requested cset,
- get the date of the commit to store in the archive,
- store only numeric owners,
- store owner and group as 0 (zero, although any arbitrary value would have been fine, as long as it's a constant),
- sort the files to store in the archive.

We also get rid of the .git directory, because there is no reason to keep it in the context of Buildroot. Some people would love to keep it so as to speed up later downloads when updating a package, but that is not really doable. For example:
- use current Buildroot
- it would need foo-12345, so do a clone and keep the .git in the generated tarball
- update Buildroot
- it would need foo-98765
For that second clone, how could we know we would have to first extract foo-12345 ? So, the .git in the archive is pretty much useless for Buildroot.

PATCH v2 3/4 support/download/git: add support for submodules

In reply to Yann E. MORIN

Some git repositories may be split into a master repository and submodules. Up until now, we did not have support for submodules, because we were using bare clones, in which it is not possible to update the list of submodules.

Now that we are using plain clones with a working copy, we can retrieve the submdoules.

Add an option to the git downlaod helper to kick the update of submodules, so that they are only fetched for those packages that require them. Also document the existing -q option at the same time.

Submodules have a .git file at their root, which contains the path to the real .git directory of the master repository. Since we remove it, there is no point in keeping those .git files either.

Note: this is currently unused, but will be enabled with the follow-up patch , that adds the necessary parts in the pkg-generic and pkg-download infrastructures.

PATCH v2 4/4 core/pkg-infra: download git submodules if the package wants them

Alex,

Quoted 6 lines · Aleksandar Simeonov

Hi Yann, Mathew,

Have you checked that this patch does not affect the download of packages not using GIT? For me it breaks the download of anything using WGET, for example dosfstools:

Yeah, but to be sure, I just did a clean and explicitly built dosfstools along with a complete build. Would you mind doing a savedefconfig and pastebin your defconifg? Also what hash did you add the patchset on top of (I used 2cd5abf)?

Thanks,
Matt

Yes, I just retried right now, and I can at least download packages using:
- wget (gcc, binutils... and dosfstools)
- mercurial (eigen)
- git with no submodules (opkg)
-git with sub-modules (a local package to test submodules)

and they all downloaded fine, especially dosfstools:

I will try to find out what is wrong, but I strongly suspect it is the ${recurse} option we add in the command.

${recurse} should only be set for a git download. And even if it was passed to the wget backend, you'd have a failure in the backend, because it does not know the -r option.

However, what you report is probably due to somthing else. Have you applied on top of local changes? Can you reproduce the error without this patchset?

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

Add a new package variable that packages can set to specify that they need git submodules.

Only accept this option if the download method is git, as we can not get submodules via an http download (via wget).

It was failing on all packages-not only on dosfstools. But it was my fault, I was applying your v2 fixes not in the correct way, so it was failing on whatever package comes next to download. I have re-downloaded them from the link you have posted, and applied them on top of 2cd5abf7f9edd3c0a609e9626f12f71e2a6e4e7c as Mathew has explained, and now all works fine.

No, without the patchset works perfectly, With it-as well :) Sorry about the noise, I was not a member of the maillist, so my reply did go only to Mathew Weber. Now should be fine.

Tested on some local packages. We already had ugly local patches to support submodules.

v2 cover core/download: add support for git sub-modules (branch yem/git)

In reply to Yann E. MORIN

All,

Quoted 10 lines · Yann E. MORIN

Hello All!

This little series adds support for packages coming from a git clone, with git sub-modules.

The commit logs are pretty detailed, but roughly, it goes as thus;

- we can't get sub-modules in a bare clone, so we no longer use bare

    clones, but use full clones (with a working copy);
Quoted 7 lines

- git-archive does not support submodules, so we generate archives

    manually;

- we check out the working copy to the correct cset, then we retrieve

    the submodules;

- we expose a new package variable to request sub-modules.

I took the refpolicy package (pending merge) and reworked the patch to use the git submodule feature. I had it download/extract a specific tag and then I observed the submodule checkout. Originally the refpolicy package used two packages to achieve this same functionality. I appreciate the patches!
